5th Dog Let Loose represents the sophomore solo album by American hip-hop artist Flesh-n-Bone, officially released on October 10, 2000, through Koch Records. The recording sessions were conducted at Studio 56, LAfx, and The Enterprise located in Hollywood. Production duties were handled by a team including Damon Elliott, The Professor, Rhythm D, Erik Nordquist, alongside Flesh-n-Bone himself. Notable guest contributions come from Layzie Bone, Ms. Chaz, B.G. Knocc Out, Damon Elliott, Kurupt, Montell Jordan, and Wish Bone. In the United States, the album reached number 98 on the Billboard 200, climbed to number 30 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and secured the third spot on the Independent Albums chart.
Initially slated for release in 1998 under the title Book of T.H.U.G.S., the album experienced postponements due to Flesh-n-Bone's imprisonment. This delay resulted in an incomplete project that was ultimately rebranded with a new name and released under a different label. Despite these obstacles, 5th Dog Let Loose is often recognized by fans and certain critics as Flesh-n-Bone’s most impactful body of work.
